Méribel isn’t just a paradise for skiers – it’s a dream destination for families with children, offering a wide range of activities that go far beyond the slopes. Whether you’re visiting in winter or summer, the resort is packed with adventures tailored to young explorers.
Winter Wonders
In the snowy season, Méribel transforms into a magical playground. The ESF Piou-Piou Club is perfect for little ones starting out on skis, with gentle slopes, magic carpets, and friendly instructors (top tip: book early!). For non-skiing fun, kids can enjoy sledging, ice skating at the Olympic Centre, and even husky rides through the forest. Indoor play zones, swimming pool water park, bowling and indoor climbing offer warm alternatives when the weather turns, making sure the fun never stops. A full list of activities can be found here.
Summer Adventures
When the snow melts, Méribel reveals lush meadows, sparkling lakes, and forest trails. Children can join nature club, try pony rides, or explore adventure parks with zip lines and climbing walls. The area around Lac de Tuéda is ideal for family hikes and wildlife spotting, while Lac du Praz offers summer swimming, a lakeside playground, and plenty of space for picnics and bbqs.
Mini motorbike circuits and electric scooters add a thrill for older kids, while creative workshops and playgrounds scattered across the resort round out the summer offering. A full list of activities can be found here.
